@dredridingshoe and i just had another fun roadtrip as we went to Bato Spring resort in San Pablo, Laguna together with the riders of Yamaha FZ-i Club Philippines.
The springwater resort is located on the foothills of Mt. Banahaw and Mt. Cristobal in Laguna.

We left Manila around 5am and we took a break for the famous Lomi (Filipino chicken noodle soup) in Famy, Laguna at 7am.
The good thing about it is the price. For only 35 pesos or $0.70, you can enjoy this thick chicken noodle soup topped with crunchy meatballs and a raw egg that boosted our energy for our journey.
Gearing up. Leaving Paviola's Lomi house
Then we reached the resort in San Pablo at 10am and paid 100 pesos each for the entrance fee
We brought ourselves food and prepared a "Boodle Fight". It was originated from the Philippine military tradition where they gather around on a table with rice and dishes in banana leaves and eating with bare hands. These riders eats like soldiers.

The resthouses can be rented for P1,500 a day. On the first floor we had our lunch and we drank a couple of brandy before we went to the springwaters.
The cool water, breeze of fresh air and the trees made us so relaxed and it relieved our stress from riding.
The water is clear and it came directly from Mt. Banahaw and Mt. Cristobal. The deepest part is just 5 ft. I got drunk from the brandy but when i went to the springwaters it shoved away the alcohol in my body like magic.
The resort seems like man-made as how the rocks was arranged but the feel is still natural.
We stayed for hours more to make sure everybody is cleared before we go back to traveling. We went back to Manila at 5pm.
This is our last photo before we went back home.
The nature tripping continues.
